A compact camera that delivers DSLR-like results at an affordable price is the Holy Grail of cameras. Sony has done this earlier with the NEX series and now its Samsung 's turn with the NX1000.

The NX1000 uses a proprietary NX mount for lenses — therefore you can only use lenses supplied by Samsung — unless a thirdparty lens mount adapter is released in future, which lets you use existing Canon & Nikon lenses.
